More taxi problems on Meridian Street

Paul Howes and neighbors are still waging a fight against taxi cabs on Meridian Street. This just in:

[At] 6am 6/26/13 on Meridian Street and again an empty cab from Logan
Airport woke us up causing a three car accident by not using the
Coughlin Bypass Road that these Logan taxis are supposed to be using.
Blocking traffic both ways, two BFD trucks and BPD cruiser. New
Massport, MassDOT liaison, new East Boston liaison being contacted and
has again fallen on deaf ears. Contacted Massport and has fallen on deaf
ears. Elected officials from East Boston have swept this under the rug.
Safety, pollution and paying for the police, fire department to handle
these accidents caused by the empty Logan taxis using the public streets
of East Boston for their shift changes is never
going to stop. All officials from Massport, East Boston elected
officials and appointed public liaisons should be ashamed of themselves
for turning a blind eye to this!
